About this book

A detective returns to her hometown under desperate circumstances, only to find herself hunting a serial killer who's made her his obsession—and whose cryptic messages suggest a deeply personal connection that cuts right to her buried past. As the chilling case unfolds, Sienna discovers that the killer's fixation on her isn't random, and that facing him might mean finally reckoning with the painful secrets she's spent years running from. This psychological thriller will keep you guessing about who's really behind the murders and what role Sienna's complicated history plays in this dangerous game. It's a gripping, darkly compelling read that proves you can't outrun the past—no matter how hard you try.

Dark, brooding indie and alternative rock with sensual undertones. Think moody synths, haunting vocals, and tension-filled beats. Mix atmospheric suspense with smoldering chemistry—noir-tinged pop and industrial edges. Dangerous attraction wrapped in shadows.
